    I had one of these. That’s when I discovered how overhyped anything from JS&A was. They sounded muffled, no bass, no treble, and frankly gave you a weird sensation. I used them for about a week, then tried to return them. That’s when I discovered JS&A’s customer service was a bad as their products. I eventually dismantled them to find a pair of 3″ cheapie speakers glued to thin rubber pads and some sort of integrated circuit amplifier. Really an interesting gimmick, better suited to be advertised on the back of comic books next to th ad for the Sea Monkeys.
